Industrial Coatings Birchwood Park | New Guard Coatings

Birchwood Park is one of Warrington's key business and technology locations, with businesses operating across engineering, energy, science, technology and industrial services.

These sectors often rely on equipment, infrastructure and fabricated components that require long-term protection against corrosion, weathering, abrasion and demanding industrial environments.

New Guard Coatings supplies industrial and protective coating solutions for businesses in and around Birchwood Park, supporting a wide range of applications from machinery and fabricated steel to electrical infrastructure and industrial flooring.

Industrial Coating Solutions for Birchwood Businesses

Different industries have different coating requirements.

An engineering company protecting fabricated steel may require a very different system from an energy business maintaining electrical infrastructure or a manufacturer refurbishing industrial machinery.

New Guard Coatings can help businesses identify suitable coating solutions for applications including:

• Structural steel
• Fabricated metal
• Industrial machinery
• Engineering equipment
• Transformers
• Generators
• Electrical boxes
• Metal enclosures
• Valves
• Industrial flooring
• External infrastructure
• Maintenance projects

The correct system will depend on the substrate, environmental exposure and required performance.

Protective Coatings for Engineering & Manufacturing

Engineering and manufacturing businesses can operate in demanding environments where metal equipment and infrastructure are exposed to regular wear.

Suitable coating systems may be used on compatible:

• Machinery
• Equipment frames
• Fabricated assemblies
• Metal housings
• Production equipment
• Engineering components
• Support structures

Before selecting a coating, it is important to understand how the surface will be used and the conditions it will be exposed to.

Key considerations can include moisture, chemical exposure, mechanical wear, temperature and whether the equipment operates indoors or outdoors.

Coatings for New Equipment & Fabricated Steel

Newly manufactured equipment and fabricated steel can require protection before installation or delivery.

The coating system should be selected based on:

• The substrate
• Required corrosion protection
• Expected service environment
• Required durability
• Application method
• Drying requirements
• Production timescales

For fabricators and manufacturers, the efficiency of the coating process can also be an important consideration.

The number of application stages, drying times and surface preparation requirements should all be considered alongside the required level of protection.

Coatings for Energy & Electrical Infrastructure

Energy and electrical infrastructure can be exposed to demanding environmental conditions.

Suitable protective coatings may be considered for compatible:

• Transformers
• Generators
• Electrical boxes
• Metal cabinets
• Equipment housings
• External steelwork
• Support structures

Outdoor infrastructure can be exposed to rain, moisture, UV radiation and changing temperatures throughout the year.

Before applying a maintenance coating, the existing surface should be inspected for corrosion, loose material and contamination.

Any necessary surface preparation should be completed before the protective coating system is applied.

Corrosion Protection for Steel

Steel and fabricated metal can be vulnerable to corrosion when exposed to moisture and industrial environments.

Protective coating systems may help protect suitable steel surfaces against corrosion.

Potential applications include:

• Structural steel
• Steel supports
• Fabricated components
• Equipment frames
• Platforms
• Handrails
• External infrastructure

The required level of corrosion protection will depend on the environment in which the asset operates.

Surface preparation is an essential part of achieving good coating performance.

Depending on the condition of the steel, preparation may involve cleaning, mechanical preparation or abrasive blasting before applying a suitable primer and protective topcoat.

Industrial Flooring for Birchwood Facilities

Industrial flooring can be an important consideration for engineering, manufacturing and technical facilities.

Floors may be exposed to:

• Foot traffic
• Machinery
• Wheeled equipment
• Trolleys
• Cleaning operations
• Industrial wear
• Oil and chemical exposure

A suitable resin flooring system can help provide a durable and practical surface for appropriate industrial environments.

Before selecting a system, it is important to consider the existing concrete, expected traffic, operational requirements and potential exposure.

Surface preparation and moisture testing may also be required before installation.

Coating Solutions for Industrial Maintenance

Over time, protective coatings can deteriorate.

Environmental exposure, mechanical damage and general wear can all affect the condition of industrial assets.

Maintenance coating projects may involve:

• Assessing the existing coating
• Identifying corrosion
• Removing loose material
• Cleaning and preparing the substrate
• Applying a suitable primer
• Applying a protective coating system

Before recoating, the existing coating should be assessed for adhesion and compatibility.

Where the condition of the existing system is poor, more extensive preparation may be required.

Surface Preparation Before Coating

The performance of an industrial coating depends heavily on the condition of the surface.

Before applying a new coating, assess the substrate for:

• Dirt and dust
• Oil and grease
• Rust and corrosion
• Loose or failing coatings
• Salt contamination
• Moisture
• Surface damage

The appropriate preparation method will depend on the substrate and coating specification.

For metal surfaces, this may involve mechanical preparation or abrasive blasting.

For concrete floors, mechanical grinding or shot blasting may be required.

The surface should be clean, sound and suitably prepared before the coating system is applied.

Choosing the Right Industrial Coating

Every industrial coating project is different.

Before selecting a system, consider:

What is the substrate?

Different materials require different preparation methods and coating systems.

What environment will the asset operate in?

Indoor and outdoor environments can have significantly different requirements.

What will the surface be exposed to?

Potential exposure may include:

• Moisture
• UV radiation
• Corrosion
• Chemicals
• Oils
• Abrasion
• Mechanical wear

What level of durability is required?

The required service life and maintenance expectations should influence the coating specification.

How will the coating be applied?

Application method, access and available drying time can all influence the most suitable solution.
